I have some exciting news! Earlier this year I put my flat up for sale and accepted an offer from a young couple looking to buy their first home. Which also means that I’m (hopefully..) buying new house! If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you’ll remember that back in 2017 I moved out of my parents house and into my own place which I spent lots of time doing up and making my own. I’m sad to…

Last month we spent the weekend in the quaint little market town of Woodstock in Oxfordshire. We were invited to stay at The Feathers Hotel which is a 17th century town house which has been turned into a charming boutique hotel.

The historic town…

Oxford Oxford is one of the most popular places in the UK to visit, so we…

Everyone has their own ways of spending and saving their hard earned cash, but here are a few things that…

If you’re looking for something family friendly to do over the Easter break, then why not host an Easter themed afternoon tea party? I recently invited some of my girlfriends round for my own afternoon tea with lots of yummy treats! It’s great way to catch up with family or friends and is easier than cooking up a big meal. It’s quite fun to set up and put it all together too! Any excuse for me to whip out my vintage…
